Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. She was such a fun Aunt. I use to stay with Aunt Char and Uncle Dick when my parents were gone and the memories are just wonderful. I use to go square dancing with them, and I just love seeing her in her dance dress. I loved them and all the colors too. Uncle Dick would always let me pick out his shirts to match her. I know she is with Uncle Dick and whole clan but she will be terribly missed. Love to you all, Jonelle

  2. My prayers are with you all. I only know Rita, but when I worked at the Baptist church. I appreciated knowing your mom so much. She was such a sweet person. God Bless you all. Alice Vroman

  3. Am sorry to hear of Charlotte’s passing. I remember her fondly. My deepest condolences and prayers.

  5. In the late 1960s and the 1970s we were part of the group that hung out at the Fryburg Sportsmans Club Square Dance Club. Some of the best, loveable and laughable times was with Dick and Char. Including the dances we would have at our house, as well as, Conneaut Lake. Our thoughts are with the family. Love and Light, Jerry and Betty McKisson from Fisher,PA.

  6. Char was my favorite cousin when we were growing up. I have fond memories of spending time together when we were young. I’m so sorry I missed her passing. I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family . Pat Hagerty
